Asendin Side Effects: An Introduction

As with any medicine, there are possible side effects with Asendin® (amoxapine). However, not everyone who takes the antidepressant will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate the drug well. When side effects do occur, in many cases they are minor, meaning they either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

(This article covers many, but not all, possible side effects with Asendin. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Asendin side effects with you.)

Common Asendin Side Effects

Asendin has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials in which the side effects seen in a group of people taking the drug are documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
